Nose: Sherried; sweet toffee and polished leather followed by cinnamon and the faintest hint of cardamon.

Palate: Fruit compote doused in cream and caster sugar, this develops into roasted malt, chestnuts and stewed raisins.

Finish: Demerara sugar, mixed spice, nutmeg and caramel lingering for long after the final sip.

Overall: Bunnahabhain with twenty-five years aging opens up the spirit to a plethora of rich, dark flavours that stay with the drinker long after the glass is finished.
